The Samsung Galaxy S6 has arrived, and by all accounts it's an architectural marvel: satiny metal and expensive glass in a modern silhouette.

When he first saw it, PCMag's Sascha Segan said the S6 is "what the Galaxy S5 should have been." The glass is Gorilla Glass 4, the strongest glass yet from Corning, and the metal is brushed and pleasing to the touch. The S6 comes in white, black, gold, and—if you're shopping internationally—blue and green. It's slimmed on the sides to make it easy to text with one hand while coffee occupies the other. The phone itself is speedy, operating on a 64-bit Octa-core processor.

How do you accessorize such a fancy phone? We have got a few suggestions, whether you're pairing it with a smartwatch, looking for an elegant charger, want it to use it to add some life to a party, have it tag along on your daily run, or are just trying to keep it looking as good as the day you unboxed it.

1
It's All in the Wrist

Just because you're newly paired off with your Galaxy S6 doesn't mean you're inseparable. For those times when your phone is just out of reach there's the Samsung Gear S. Right from your wrist you can make and receive calls, text, get directions with turn-by-turn navigation, check the weather, peruse your playlists, and keep track of your fitness.

2
Cord Cutting

Free yourself from the tyranny of cables. Place your S6 down on the Samsung Wireless Charging Pad and in Fast Charge mode you can get a charge that will last you for four hours of use in just 10 minutes. You can also set it and forget it; the charger lets you know when it's all juiced up. The disc—available in white pearl and black sapphire—is unobtrusive and won't ruin your décor.

3
Think About Your Selfie

Selfie sticks went from a novelty at CES to something you encounter on the street daily. So we'd be remiss not to include them in this list. This URPower one is easy to operate via Bluetooth and comes with a mirror that attaches to the back so that you can use the rear (better-resolution) camera on the S6 and get the advantage of being able to use flash.

4
Charge It, Please

Your S6 is probably going to see a lot of use over the day and you may find yourself far from a power source. So pack one yourself. The Mophie Power Reserve clips onto your keys and can charge your phone to 60 percent of its capacity.

5
Cable Knit

Life should be colorful—and that includes cables. Ditch the boring cord that comes with your phone and go with a brightly hued and braided micro USB charger. This pack of 10 micro USB charging cables is from a company called Eversame yet each of them is different.

6
Say It Loud

Good sound is all around with the Samsung Level Box. The speaker enhances the sound of your calls, supplements the sound on your streaming, and boosts the bass of your music. The Level Box connects with your phone via NFC or Bluetooth and comes in white or black.

7
Sparkling Screen

Screen smudges happen. There's no way to prevent them but there is an easy way to get rid of them. The Dustin Screen Cleaner has two sides, one to combat dirt and the other dust. The Dustin comes in a three-pack (one with a keychain, one without, and one sized for tablets).

8
Armed and Fabulous

If your S6 is your workout companion then you'll want the Sport Armband from Oeago. The S6 slides right in to the adjustable Velcro band and there's a handy slot for your house key. It comes in five colors (black, blue, purple, white, and rose).
